Joe Flacco, Ravens Working On Restructured Contract

Feb 27, 2016 1:12 PM

Joe Flacco and the Baltimore Ravens are working on a new deal to give the team more flexibility in terms of the cap.

Flacco currently has a cap number of $28.55 million. A new deal could reduce Flacco's cap number by as much as $9 million.

"He knows that he's in it for the long haul and he wants to put the best team we can on the field," John Harbaugh said, via the Baltimore Sun. "He also wants to earn what he's worth, and whatever he signs for, he's going to want to prove that he's worth it, too. That's just how Joe thinks. I'm pretty fired up about it. I'll be really surprised and disappointed if it doesn't get done."

The Baltimore Ravens have used the franchise tag on Justin Tucker.

"We've had some discussions, but we will franchise Justin if we do not get a deal done. Even if we do franchise him, we will continue to work to negotiate to try and get a deal done," said Ozzie Newsome.

For now, the estimated $4.5 million tag figure works out well for both sides.
